Week 4 is in the books, and it wasn’t exactly what Cowboy fans were hoping for. The Dallas Cowboys fell to the Los Angeles Rams 35-30 and picked up their second loss of the season. Now at 2-2, the Boys sit at 3rd place in the division. With an incredibly difficult schedule ahead, the road for our Cowboys back to the NFL Playoffs appears to be bleaker than most assumed.

A home bout with a young LA Rams team figured to be an easy W after regrouping last week with a big win in Arizona on Sunday night. Jared Goff and Todd Gurley had something else to say about this. Together the two provided the offense with an electric showing and proved to be no match for the Cowboys mediocre defense. The team simply abandoned the run in the second half and it proved to be costly once again. When will Jason Garrett learn? Let’s now look ahead. How does the remaining schedule look? Well the next 5 games will be a major test for this team. Facing the Packers, 49ers, Redskins, Chiefs and Falcons, sets the team up with a divisional showdown verse our rival, the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Philadelphia Eagles will come to town in week 11 showdown. Cowboys fans must bring the intensity and come to play as well as the team. We all saw the impressive showing Philadelphia fans put on this past week in San Diego. As the opposing team, it was reported that their fans made up of more than 70% of the entire attendance. It was a sea of green repping their Philadelphia Eagles gear. We can’t allow for that Philadelphia Eagles apparel to infiltrate our stadium. Even those Philadelphia Eagles retro jerseys, which are actually much more tasteful than their ugly green ones they wear now.

Let’s come together Cowboy fans, there is so much season to be played. With 25% in the books, we’ve only received just a sneak peak. However this little stint has been completely unacceptable. We are better than our mediocre record say. The Dallas Cowboys are a Super Bowl contender! Here is to a hopefully promising rest of the year. Let’s go BOYS!

The most important thing to keep in mind when you’re looking for a new guitar is your own level of interest. Buy the instrument that excites you, even if it’s not the most economical option, because your excitement will keep you practicing and playing. Too many new guitar buyers settle for an inexpensive acoustic model, for example, when they really want an electric. Beyond your interest level, though, there are several considerations that will ensure you choose the right guitar.

Acoustic or Electric

Among the first issues for those deciding how to choose the right guitar to purchase is whether to go acoustic or electric. Conventional advice usually says to start with the acoustic, but there’s no real reason an acoustic is better or worse for beginners. Indeed, though electric guitars are slightly more complex, the decision really boils down, again, to which style excites you.

Budget

Buying a guitar is not like buying a home or a car; you shouldn’t need a bank loan to do it. That said, price is still a key factor in most guitar purchases, and there are guitars available to suit almost any budget. The only risks with less-expensive models is that they might be cheaply made. An instrument that goes out of tune too often or that is unreasonably difficult to play will discourage beginners, perhaps to the point they give up. If you’re buying a guitar for someone else or for yourself as a beginner, get something that will hold interest and keep motivation levels high.

Size

Guitars aren’t a one-size-fits-all instrument, but they’re close. Most adults will be comfortable with any adult-sized guitar, but children should use guitars that are designed for them. It’s a good idea to hold the guitar for a few minutes, if possible, before you make a buying decision. The guitar that’s right for you will feel good in your hands.

Package Deals

A lot of guitars come packaged with accessories and are offered at some kind of a discount. Guitar packages can be a great way to get everything you need to get started, but be wary of deals that look too good to be true. Often, the tuners and capos included in package deals, and even the guitars themselves, are of lesser quality than instruments and accessories sold a la carte. Manufacturers tend to use cheap materials and processes to keep the costs of package deals low. Do your research before you spring for a guitar kit, that’s all.

Accessories

An enormous accessories industry has grown up around guitars. A lot of people will say you need a tuner, a capo, a stand, a custom leather guitar strap, and a guitar humidifier before you can start playing. The truth, though, is that the instrument is almost self-contained. You probably need a tuner, you might want some picks, and if you want to play standing up you’ll have to think about choosing a guitar strap, but the instrument alone is enough to start playing on if your budget is tight.

Get the basics, and get what excites you. A quality instrument with the right accessories should repay you with challenge and enjoyment for years to come.
